UT football: Longhorns fall in rankings

AUSTIN — Texas’ season-long climb through the national rankings just headed in the opposite direction.

One day after enduring a 55-17 shellacking at the hands of No. 3 Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, the Longhorns plummeted from No. 11 to No. 22 in the Associated Press Top 25. UT dropped from No. 10 to No. 21 in the coaches poll.

OU remained ranked third by the AP and first by the coaches. Other Big 12 schools in the AP Top 25 include No. 6 Oklahoma State, which plays at UT next week, as well as No. 17 Kansas State, No. 20 Baylor and No. 21 Texas A&M.
